Conference Agenda | POLY-FOAM Suzhou 2023“START AGAIN new start”

Foam Update along with Interfoam and Shincell New Materials are pleased to announce that the 2023 international Poly-Foam Conference will be held at Suzhou Hilton Hotel, November 29-30, 2023. As environmental awareness and innovation for quality living continue to drive foam to an ever-high level. During the coronavirus which dedicated technical researchers and practitioners had devoted themselves on valuable developments and made great strides forward, it is time to get together to review the “solutions” in a face-to-face conference to enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration to deliver the benefits to the society in a timely manner.

This conference will highlight foaming methodology out of bio-based materials using safe blowing agent, and innovative foam products for the semiconductor and sports shoes segments. In addition, an exhibition aera will be set up for the companies willing to show their latest developments in foam products and/or foaming technology. It is a great platform to net-work with suppliers and high-quality foam people to meet up the challenges for sustainable growth in the ever-competitive industry. It is our desire that through this conference a solid step is made in the transformation from 3P (past, present, and predictions) to 3P (persistence, prosperity, and perfect).

This conference also offers a one-day Expert Lecture on Nov. 28 at the same location. Four lectures will be focused on “R&D must catch up Customers’ expectation” to help the audience understand the real developmental path. This Conference will be valuable for the technical staff, application specialists, strategists, business decision-makers, and students in equipping, renewing and refreshing their passion for foam and beyond.
